Solana’s official X account on Wednesday publicly mocked Starknet, a prominent layer 2 solution, over a stark mismatch between the project’s valuation and on-chain activity.
The statement pointed to Starknet’s low daily active users and transactions despite maintaining a billion-dollar market capitalization.
